Note: Explaining a definition with an illuminating example.

In class, we defined 'feedback' $($using Systems Theory description$)$ as follows:

$"$An input to an element as a response to a previous output by the same element."

In applying this definition to paragraph $7$ of the scenario, we can conclude that paragraph $7$ includes an illuminating example of a 'feedback' as per the justification below.

Justification:

Element $=$ DES

Step $1$: Output done by element DES $=$ Input complaint into FMS

Step $2$: Input to element DES as a result of the output done in Step $1=$ Receive printouts of jobs schedule.

True$/$False:

$5.$ Paragraph $3$ of the scenario includes an illuminating example of a 'feedback'. True False

$6.$ Paragraph $4$ of the scenario includes an illuminating example of a 'feedback'. True False

$7.$ Together, paragraphs $4$ and $5$ of the scenario include an illuminating example of a 'feedback'.

True False

$8.$ Paragraph $9$of the scenario includes an illuminating example of a 'feedback'.

True False

Make the following assumptions about paragraph $3$ for the next question.

Initial State: Assistant Manager and Manager meet every day as scheduled.

System Behavior: Assistant Manager hand$-$delivers reviewed complaints to Manager, and informs Manager about complaints that need additional review.

Output: the number of complaints that need additional review.

True$/$False:

$9.$ Based on the above stated assumptions, paragraph $3$ represents an illuminating example of a 'deterministic' process.

True

False

Refer to paragraphs $6$ and $7$ of the scenario. Make the following assumptions for the next question.

Initial State: DES inputs complaints into FMS$.$

System Behavior: FMS generates schedule of predictive maintenance jobs.
